DigitalOcean Status

Overview

The DigitalOcean Status API reports the operational status of DigitalOcean’s services and regions — current status, incident history, and component health — via an Atlassian Statuspage-compatible JSON API. Keyless and free (verified live), it’s useful for status badges and incident notifications.

Quick Start

Service status (verified live):

curl "https://status.digitalocean.com/api"

{
  "page": { "id": "...", "name": "DigitalOcean", "url": "https://status.digitalocean.com" },
  "components": [
    { "id": "...", "name": "Account", "status": "operational" },
    { "name": "API", "status": "operational" }
  ],
  "status": { "description": "All Systems Operational", "indicator": "none" }
}

Recent incidents:

curl "https://status.digitalocean.com/api/v2/incidents/unresolved.json"
curl "https://status.digitalocean.com/api/v2/incidents.json?limit=5"

Authentication

None — keyless.

Rate Limits & Notes

• Free, public status data; no hard limit — be polite.
• Two flavors: the aggregate /api summary and the Statuspage-compatible /api/v2/ endpoints (components, incidents, scheduled-maintenances).
• status.indicator values: none (all good) → major (major outage).
• Use it for uptime badges, status widgets, and CI gates.

Is DigitalOcean Status API free? Yes — public status data, keyless.

How do I check current status programmatically? GET /api → status.indicator tells you if everything is operational.
